Celiac Disease: Spotlight on The Dairy-Free Cooking Site
Monday October 27, 2008
Last month I posted a poll asking readers "What Other Foods Are Problems For You?" Nearly 20% of those who responded said that lactose or casein (a protein in milk) were problems. For those of you who need to avoid both gluten and dairy products, I've found some delicious-looking recipes on About.com's Dairy-Free Cooking site that will fit the bill! All of the following are gluten-free and dairy free:
- Dairy-Free Pumpkin Soup
- Creamy Corn Chowder
- Citrus Red Snapper in Coconut Sauce
- Creamy Lemon-Shrimp Risotto
- Vegetarian Stuffed Cabbage Rolls
- Vegetarian Lentil Meatballs
- Dairy-Free Mashed Potatoes
- Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes
- Caramel Apples
- Caramel Rice Pudding
- Egg Custard Pie (Use a Gluten-Free Pie Crust)
- Hot Chocolate

Could you write some more about milk proteins and lactose problems in celiac?
I to found out after 3 years that casein was a problem. Searching I found this study:
Mucosal reactivity to cow’s milk protein in coeliac disease.

Thank you for posting information about celiac disease.
Thanks, Maria. I’ll look into that.

By the way, Maria, it didn’t occur to me to ask you: have you seen the article celiac disease and lactose intolerance that’s already posted here on About.com:
Lactose Intolerance and Celiac Disease
According to this post 36-48% people with celiac also have issues with casein. I happen to be one of them….

Volta et. al. have demonstrated that 36% to 48% of celiacs tested were also intolerant to milk protein. Borner et. al. have demonstrated sequence homology, from the N-terminal, between casein and gliadin.
